GALLUP Strengths: Ideation, Intellection, Context, Deliberative, AdaptabilityI offer fresh and new perspectives based upon a depth of understanding, the wisdom acquired from a melding of knowledge, experience and relevant background, combined with the ability to anticipate potential risks to develop thorough and conscientious approaches while following the lead of change or providing a firm stance when required.My 'Why' Statement: "To creatively inspire others so that they can expand their world."You have probably heard the phrase "there is more than one way to skin a cat", but I bet you have never thought about how it applies to leadership. I have often been sought out for leadership roles. These positions really made me see how important this phrase could be when a leader empowers others to be creative and develop innovative solutions when they tap into their inner strengths. I have always empowered the people on my teams to do the jobs they have been trained for and to think outside the box to reach the teams goals. To me, providing clear direction and vision and allowing the team to work through the task just seemed the correct way to get things accomplished. It wasn't until I had a supervisor explain to me that she couldn't understand how, when she tasked the team, she would get exactly what she asked for; but when I would task the team, they would come back with a in-depth, well thought out, innovative solution beyond what was expected.I am the type of leader who empowers others to tap into their inner strengths creating the best culture for efficiency and continued success through development of future company leadership.
